Illaoi seems really... oppressive

Now I have no idea how oppressive she's supposed to be, but after facing her a few times, i think her numbers should be tweaked a bit. I'm mainly thinking on her tentacles, they do a bunch of damage, it's like getting punched by her herself, but without her being there. I don't know, maybe I'm just stupid or my champions aren't tanky enough (i know Shaco wasn't, but I'm not surprised about that).

No, she has a lot of sustain for a toplaner, and with potentially infinite tentacles if you don't get to attacking them (Which she can punish you HARD for trying to do... Why, Rito.) combined with insane damage and early-game tank because of her sustain, the Hentai-Lady is a bit strong at the moment. However, she falls off considerably late-game when otehr tanks do her job better, and she becomes a minor harass at best. I think some number tweaks to give her more late-game presence, alter the number of tentacles she can have up at one time from her passive, as well as sustain and tentacle damage numbers would benefit her well. Surprisingly, though, she's one of the more balanced release champs I've seen in a while.

LOOKING AT YOU KINDRED AND GNAR.

when she grabs your soul if you attack her I noticed sometimes it doesn't give you the tentacle spawning thing but I'm not sure exactly what causes it. new champs always seem oppressive because no one knows how to play against them yet. I noticed that she tends to fall off late. ive only gone against her as gp and with him he struggles early but really beats her out once he gets some items.

All they have to do is change the damage of getting hit by multiple tentacles. When she uses W (especially during ult) you should be damaged for each tentacle that hits you but each tentacle shouldn't be doing full damage.... when built right she can just start spamming W and she alone will nuke the entire team if they are in range.... her sustain while doing so is pretty frickin strong but it would be more balanced if she just had less damage output during ult... imo

She's only good in a cluster teamfight outside of it she's weak

They need to lower her overall damage and give her cc once they do that she'll be fine.

So you know Darius, the pentakill bruiser limited by his short range and zero mobility?

Now you have Illaoi, Darius with a dash and a lane-wide area of influence. lol.
